Costa Coffee, a brand under Coca-Cola in India's commercial beverage sector, recently celebrated the opening of its 150th store in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi. This milestone reflects Costa Coffee's commitment to providing exceptional coffee experiences to its customers across the country.
Costa Coffee made its debut in the Indian market in 2005 by opening its first café in Connaught Place, New Delhi. Over the past year, in partnership with Devyani International, Costa Coffee initiated a significant expansion in India, introducing approximately 60 new stores.
The brand's ongoing objective is to establish new outlets in the top 8-10 cities in India, with a particular focus on specialized locations such as airports, highways, and healthcare facilities. This expansion is part of a broader transformation in India's coffee sector, with a growing emphasis on specialty coffee and premium offerings. Urban millennials, in particular, have played a significant role in turning coffee shops into vibrant social spaces, leading to a notable shift in a nation traditionally associated with tea culture.
The 150th Costa Coffee outlet exemplifies the brand's dedication to offering artisanal coffee crafted from locally sourced ingredients. The menu features a diverse selection of distinctive coffee creations, including popular choices like the Flat White, Classic Corto, Café Caramela, and more, all prepared using locally-sourced coffee beans.
Costa Coffee's General Manager for India & Emerging Markets, Vinay Nair, expressed the brand's commitment to expanding its presence across India: "India is a key market for us globally, and we are proud to commemorate the opening of our 150th store. This milestone truly highlights the overwhelming love and support we have received from coffee enthusiasts across India. Our aim is to extend our presence to every corner of the nation, ensuring remarkable coffee experiences for all."
Furthermore, Costa Coffee's Global CEO, Philippe Schaillee, emphasized the brand's focus on India, stating that it is one of the "priority" markets. Schaillee shared that Costa Coffee plans to add around 50 speciality coffee stores every year in India. The brand believes that India's growth potential is substantial, with a shift towards coffee consumption from tea and rising disposable incomes as key drivers.
To support its expansion, Costa Coffee is not limited to larger cities but is exploring opportunities in segments such as travel hubs, including airports, train stations, and office campuses. The brand's agility enables it to adapt to changing circumstances, ensuring a sustainable and successful growth strategy.
India's coffee market is poised for significant growth, and Costa Coffee is well-positioned to capture a share of this expanding market. With its dedication to quality coffee and a commitment to delivering unique experiences, Costa Coffee is on a mission to bring the rich flavors of coffee to every corner of India.

Starting 2026 on a note of reconnection, k-o-j-i, Conrad Pune’s award-winning modern Asian dining restaurant, invites guests to slow down and rediscover meaningful moments with loved ones through Elements of Kin Khao. This thoughtfully curated Thai dining experience will be available for dinner from 13th to 22nd February, offering a soulful journey into the heart of Thai food traditions.
In Thailand, the phrase Kin Khao means much more than simply “to eat rice.” It is a gentle expression of care, a way of checking in, sharing time, and building connection. Deeply rooted in warmth and togetherness, this philosophy reflects the essence of Thai culture, where food is meant to be shared and flavours are carefully balanced. Elements of Kin Khao brings this spirit to life through an experience that celebrates authentic Thai cooking and the joy of eating together.
Curated by Chef Gopal Subba, Chef De Cuisine, the menu takes diners through a rich journey of Thai flavours, from delicate herbs and fragrant curries to bold umami notes. Each dish reflects harmony and tradition, staying true to the roots of Thai cuisine while offering a refined dining experience.
Guests can begin with soups and salads, followed by a selection of appetisers such as Tod Khao Pod – Thai ground sweet corn cake with lime leaf & lemongrass, Tung Tong – deep fried money bag stuffed with vegetables, Tod Mun Pla – ground fish cake with herbs & red curry, Kratong Tong – coconut based spicy ground prawns served in a crispy basket, and Gae Phad Prik Gaeng – curry based, stir fried lamb.
The main course continues the journey with traditional favourites including Gaeng Phanaeng, Pad Krapow Kai, Pla Neung Manao, and Gaeng Phanaeng Lamb, highlighting classic Thai techniques and regional influences. The experience ends on a comforting note with the iconic Mango sticky rice – Khao Niaow Muang, offering a sweet and satisfying finish.
Set within the contemporary elegance of k-o-j-i, Elements of Kin Khao encourages diners to share plates, slow down, and reconnect. It is an experience where food becomes a conversation and every meal feels warm, familiar, and welcoming.
